“ There is a perception that a career break automatically leads to a deterioration of skills . But the reality is , that many people on a career break keep themselves up to date with their industry , can refresh their skills easily when back in work and have developed new transferable skills that would actually benefit their employers .
“ This programme will allow us to continue our mission to help create a diverse , inclusive and equitable STEM sector . We are especially delighted to be collaborating on this project with Women Returners , as working together we can achieve more .”
On launch of the initiative , Minister for Women and Equalities , and Secretary of State for Business and Trade , Kemi Badenoch MP , said : “ I learned how to code at the age of seven and trained as an engineer , so I know the importance of science to our economy .
“ In the last decade we have seen more girls studying STEM subjects at school and university , but we know that too many women later drop out of those careers because they need to care for children or elderly relatives .
“ We are investing in returners so we can plug the STEM gap , increase workplace equality , and boost our economy . That ’ s good business sense .”
